Hush puppyI was hoping this was about the shoes. (Are they still around?)
You have done the country and FR an incredible service by posting this. Keep up the good work.
(I saw it this morning on Serious Eats, also.)
Uh, do you realize you’ve been banned? For posting about hushpuppies? Man, the mod’s are getting strict.
Hush puppyThere is a restaurant here in Savannah that gives hushpuppies instead of bread. They must actually be donut holes in disguise! They come with honeybutter and are very addictive.
They supposedly have great food, but, after the hushpuppies, who cares!
Ok, the food is excellent, or, at least was, the last time I ate there.
Why does the author think that a black woman cooking hushpuppies is a racial stereotype? Black people don’t cook or eat?
"In 1948, an entrepreneur named Walter Thompson from the tiny coastal town of Swansboro, North Carolina, decided to take hushpuppies nationwide. He concocted a ready-mix blend of cornmeal, flour, and seasoning, packaged it in pasteboard tubes, and branded it Thompson's Fireside Hushpuppy Mix. "Just add water," the label promised. "A delightfully different Southern hot bread." It sold for 30 cents a can."
My grandmother lived in Bogue, NC (a few miles up the road from Swansboro, NC) and worked for Walter Thompson for several years during this time. Until she died in 2002 at the age of 96, she would brag about being the one who created his recipe. None of us gave it much credence.
In the south to have fish, Brunswick stew or pork bar-b-q without hush puppies simply isn’t done. I think it may even be a law.
The first rule of Hush Puppies Club is to ....... Hush up.
Wasn’t it just a way to use the leftover Batter? Is there really a need for an investigation on this?
The Joads ate fried dough a lot in The Grapes of Wrath. It’s just a small technological leap to hushpuppies.
I can finally sleep nights now.
Given enough beer, these gustatorial delights become hush fish and cat puppies. 8-)
